Lead Security Solution Architect
We are seeking a Lead Security Solution Architect to define and deliver secure, scalable technology solutions across a complex enterprise environment. In this senior role, you will establish security architecture principles, translate business and technical requirements into practical designs, and ensure that security is embedded throughout the solution lifecycle. You will work closely with engineering, infrastructure, cloud, data, risk, and business stakeholders to shape resilient platforms and services that support strategic objectives.
Your responsibilities will include leading the design and review of security architectures across cloud, on-premises, hybrid, application, network, identity, and data environments. You will produce architecture patterns, reference designs, threat models, and security requirements; assess risks and recommend proportionate controls; and provide technical guidance on secure development, access management, encryption, monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident readiness. You will also govern architecture decisions, challenge exceptions, support technology selection, and help ensure alignment with relevant regulatory, privacy, and industry standards.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in security architecture, solution design, and technical leadership, with a strong understanding of modern cloud services, zero-trust principles, identity and access management, network security, application security, and security operations. Experience working with architecture frameworks, risk management processes, and compliance requirements is highly desirable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, SABSA, CCSP, or relevant cloud security credentials would be advantageous. You should be confident influencing senior stakeholders, communicating complex risks clearly, and balancing security, usability, cost, and delivery speed. A collaborative, pragmatic approach and the ability to mentor architects and engineers will be essential to success.
